I think the xfm, bass and beats and the lofi sampler are easily the best in their price and class. This sampler is incredibly powerful! With this and the xfm you can write entire albums or make improvised semi generated random noise, you can sequence external gear and cc lock.. if you even list the featuews and then look at rhe cost. It's incredible. Some people find the learning curve hard it's really not. You needed the manual and after a couple hours going through it and playing with what it describes you get the hang very fast because it does make a lot of sense unlike a lot of other stuff. Now I have only spent a couple days with the Livens I have , I can easily pick one up and make something interesting very fast, it's the most immediate and fun music making hardware I have experienced similar to the modal skulpt and novation tracks .. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sonicware Liven Lofi-12 [Lo-fi Groovebox & Sampler] Retro sampling with 12bit Sampler mode, 4-track step sequencer, 10 voices, 12 Track Effects + 9 Master Effect, Battery-powered, Built-in speaker - PowerHOOD 9V AC Adapter Compatible with Sonicware LIVEN Texture Lab, Lofi-12, 8bit warps, XFM, Lofi-6, Bass & Beats GrooveBox Synthesizer Sampling Synth Groove Box 9VDC DC9V Power Supply Cord Charger - Mellbree MIDI Cable, 2-Pack 3-Feet Male to Male 5-Pin MIDI Cable Compatible with MIDI Keyboard, Keyboard Synth, Rack Synth, Sampler, External Sound Card, Sound Source and Other Music Gear --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/595914798-liven-lofi-12-lo-fi-groovebox-and-sampler-retro-sampling](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/595914798-liven-lofi-12-lo-fi-groovebox-and-sampler-retro-sampling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
